Twelve concerti grossi, Op. 6 (Corelli)


Twelve concerti grossi, Op. 6, is a collection of twelve concerti written by Arcangelo Corelli, arranged for publication in 1714. These are some of the finest examples of the baroque-style concerti grossi, that is, concertos for a concertino group, in these cases of a 1st violin, a 2nd violin and a cello, and a ripieno group of 1st violins, 2nd violins, violas, cellos and continuo. They were the model for the later publication in London, in 1739, of Handel's own collection of twelve Opus 6 Concerti Grossi.

The first eight are concerti da chiesa while the last four are concerti da camera.
